Winter on Mount Washington,
LittLetO1l Journal.

LittLetOn Journal.
To show few of the perils and
hardships to which the men who Occu-
Ply the signal station on Mount Wash
| ingtOn are subjected during the winter
we will relate the following, given by
visitor to the summit this spring.
David j. Murphy, the cook at the sig
nal station, undertook to make the
ascent of the mountain during a storm,
and the crust being quite hard, his
progress was necessarily slow, which
added to the intense GOODNESS of the
atmosphere and the high wind which
prevailed-the wind having reached
a velocity of about 100 miles an hour
rendered his situation one of unusual
precariOusness. Getting up as far as
what is known as the Gulf house, so
called from its near proximity to the
Great Gulf, he was so benumbed with
cold that drOwsiness began to creep
over him. However, he managed to
gain an entrance into the Gulf house,
where he was found later. The officers
at the summit having kept up tele
graphic communication with "Uncle
John" at the base became alarmed at
his continued absence, and as night
was fast coming on, sent out a relief
party composed of Mr.. Bauer and an
other gentleman, who, succeeded in
getting down to the Gulf house. In
going down the two gentlemen wore
holes entirely through two pairs of
mittens, the outside ones of leather, in
holding on to the trestle, so great was
the power of the wind. Even after ar
irving at the Gulf house they were
about fifteen minutes getting from the
track to the house, which we should
judge is not much over two rods from
the track. In the Gulf house they
found Murphy, built fire and remain
ed that night, returning to the summit
the next morning when a slight lull in
the storm occurred.

Rather Die than Go to the Poorhouse

A touching story is told of the death
by poison a few days ago of Charles
SiedhOrf and his wife at Union Hill, a
New Jersey village near New York.
When one has passed 30 ears it is not
long he can expect to live, either for
pleasure or pain, and it would seem as
if the patience needed was not great /;
but there are circumstances that make
even another day intolerable, and the
old scholar Siedhorf could not con-
template passing that day in the aims
house. The aged couple had grown
careless in their way of life, neighbors
found them a nuisance, insulted them
and complained of them, and there
seemed nothing to do but take them to
the almshouse. The old man asked
the poor master for a weeks respite,
and when he came for them Tuesday
he wanted an hour more. In that hour
SiedhOrf wrote two or three letters,
and when the poor master returned
